Fliperama Party Poster 1

Fliperama Party Poster 2

I’ve always drawn since I was a
kid. I used to copy a lot from comics and things I saw in magazines about
anime. I really love music and big concerts, so I contribute with my
illustrations—making these gig posters.

I consider myself to be a story-teller. The subject and
inspiration behind my artwork is always changing. I have expressed my
love for black people, struggles of being poor, racism and sexism
through my illustrations. I also enjoy illustrating portraits; it makes
me happy.

S.P.A.T.H. Hovercraft

I have worked as an independent filmmaker,
animator, and 3D artist for 7 years. I grew up in Brooklyn and currently
reside in Durham, North Carolina. My passion is hard surface design and
3D concept art.

Robotics Study

My family are mostly doctors and engineers and they all married
doctors and engineers. I am the sole dedicated professional creative in
the whole family. I taught myself animation and 3D design, becoming
proficient in Cinema4D, Maya, Modo, Moi3D, and Fusion360.

The sole inspiration for my work is my father. After his death, I fell into depression and that is when someone
insisted that I do what I love, to pursue what I
left behind in order to fill the emptiness within. I wanted to make my
dad proud.
